0:32 What a vapid conversation about the Polar Security Cutter that failed to hold senior leadership in the Coast Guard accountable for its cost overruns and building delays. gCaptain’s Malte Humpert wrote an article on May 3rd (presumably a week before this interview) that explicitly said there was no final design in May 2024 for these ships and how that’s going to be a huge issue. Was this WotR interview an actual conversation (as explicitly stated in the title) or just a curated set of talking points?!
